2012 is the year for breaking rules

I've taken a break from blogging the last few months in order to finish up some other projects and consider some new ones. Writing is in full swing once again, so it's time to stop in here for sharing a few notes.

All my life I've soaked up tips, tricks, how-to articles and other pieces of advice from writers on writing. I've come to the conclusion that no one piece of advice is one-size-fits-all for writers. If the only time you can produce writing is by working in longhand in the bed of a pick-up truck on top of a windy hill on Tuesdays, then you're ahead of the game. All this talk about writing only first thing in the morning or about never revising while doing a first draft is just someone else's opinion if it doesn't work for you. What works is what works.

Quote Of The Moment
It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.
